  • Compressed Syndicated Cap Rate

Risk read

Tone reflects relative strength, not a rating

Leverage Profile

Moderate 40.99% LTV with 1.9x DSCR

The loan structure carries moderate leverage and strong debt coverage throughout the 7-year interest-only window.

Offering Premium

Appraisal is 88.43% of offering price

The $179,124,000 offering price exceeds the underlying real estate acquisition price of $155,000,000 due to upfront syndication fees.

Distribution Yield

Initial 3.40% cash yield

Year 1 projected yield is 3.40%, expanding to a full-term average of 3.64%.

Debt Amortization

Amortization begins in Year 8

Principal amortization begins in year 8 on a 30-year schedule, reducing cash flow buffer prior to the 10-year loan maturity.

The syndication cost structure results in an appraisal-to-offering ratio of 88.43%, creating an immediate valuation spread relative to syndicated equity. The projected Year 1 income yield of 3.40% provides limited initial yield buffer. Additionally, the financing transitions from interest-only to 30-year amortization in year 8, increasing annual debt service obligations.

The transaction load of $10,570,000 in total upfront fees and expenses increases total capitalization above the $155,000,000 purchase price to $179,124,000. This compresses the going-in acquisition cap rate of 5.36% to a syndicated cap rate of 4.02%. Consequently, the property's appraised value represents 88.43% of the total offering capitalization.

Financing Terms

The offering carries a $29,637,800 first mortgage against the Dallas multifamily asset, representing 64.2% leverage on the acquisition price. The loan is fixed at 5.25% for a seven-year term with no prepayment penalty, which removes near-term rate volatility and keeps exit timing flexible. Projected net operating income covers debt service at 1.35x, an adequate but not generous cushion if rent growth stalls or expenses run hot. Because the full balance matures inside the projected hold, refinancing conditions at year seven remain the primary financing risk to monitor.

Transaction Metrics

Transaction fields tie the $50.0M acquisition price to the $60.0M offering price and the $61.50M appraisal, so the pricing gap is visible rather than implied. The offering prices 20.0% above acquisition cost and reads a -2.44% premium/discount to appraised value. Cap rates compress from 5.25% at acquisition to 5.75% syndicated, a 50 bps spread absorbed by fees and load. Load figures of 4.30% on equity and 2.40% on offering price are the fields most worth pressure-testing.

Use of Proceeds

Use of proceeds shows where investor capital actually lands: $46.36M, or 77.3% of the offering, reaches the property. Offering expenses of $7.80M and acquisition costs and reserves of $5.84M consume the remaining 22.7%. Total fees and expenses of $13.64M equal 21.13% of equity and 12.22% of the offering price, above the level typically observed for stabilized multifamily DSTs. Reserves of $3.88M are appropriately sized for a 12-year-old asset.

Sponsor Compensation

Front-end sponsor compensation totals $5,094,395, or 10.19% of acquisition cost, spread across five disclosed line items. The $1.96M acquisition fee is the largest single component at 3.04% of equity, followed by $1.24M of carrying costs. O/O reimbursement, DST admin and loan origination fees add a further $1.90M. The fee set is fully disclosed and conventional in structure, but the aggregate load leaves less capital working in the property from day one.

Operating & Disposition Fees

Ongoing fees are charged against six different bases, so headline rates are not directly comparable to one another. The 3.00% property management fee on EGI and 1.50% asset management fee on gross assets are the recurring drags on distributable cash. Master tenant income of 2.00% of annual rent sits on top of those, and a 1.00% disposition fee plus 1.00% refinancing fee apply at capital events. Trust administration is a modest $25,000 flat annual cost.
